One in five children on the planet is now overweight or obese.
According to new research, skipping breakfast or excessive screen time are risk factors for developing obesity
lmfao you are a genius
It's even better when you consider Kenny is malnourished and extremely poor
So they say, but he doesn't look any different than the rest of them under that hood.

I haven't watched that show in ages and my brain still accompanies this image with that little musical twang.

Totally nothing to do with rising sugar content in all foods globally and lack of proper nutritional foods
Exactly. And somehow the top of the article says
According to new research, skipping breakfast or excessive screen time are risk factors for developing obesity
Oh yah, it's definitely because kids skip breakfast (and the 22g of sugar per teaspoon) and screens.
Edit: My apologies, it’s in the subtitle line cut out of context like this. I think this is the egregious fault of the publisher more than the author, probably some SEO BS, because again this was obviously not the intent of that sentence.
My browser’s reader mode cut out that subtitle line, hence my original comment:
Bad reading of the author’s intent and you ignore the immediately preceding sentence which provides context for your cherry picked quote:
The researchers identified great heterogeneity in the prevalence between countries and also diverse risk factors, from dietary to behavioral.
The intent of that paragraph is to highlight the diversity of risk factors, not to give the most prevalent ones.
When you ask a text to do something it didn’t ever even pretend to want to do, of course you are going to come away disappointed. Media literacy. < Publisher accountability.
we chose 🛻🚗🛻 over kids.
I was so amazed at European and Asian cities that had good public transportation. Just being able to walk everywhere.
We should drive 🛻🚗🛻 over kids.
Refined sugar is generally not good, and certainly whole food sources of carbs are much more beneficial than simple sugars - however, sugar is not nearly as much of a demon as popular health influencers make it out to be. Importantly, it also needs to be kept in mind that the "standard american diet" (sad) or standard western diet is one that's high in animal products, fat (particularly saturated fat), refined carbs; while being low in whole fruits, vegetables, and fiber and phytonutrients in general.
Walter Kempers rice diet is worth learning about. It was a terrible diet - patients could basically only eat white rice, sugar, and fruit. But despite being an absurdly high sugar and high carb diet, a lot of patients saw dramatic improvements in their health, particularly when it came to things like obesity and type 2 diabetes reversal.

Sometimes it works the other way. We cannot get our teenage daughter to eat anything but junk food half the time and yet she's far thinner than either of us were as teenagers. Neither of us can understand it.
Count the calories, probably not much. Probably also active.
Could be something she does is burning energy and you haven't figured out what.
I used to wonder why I never gained weight despite eating twice what other people did...I never thought to factor in being extremely active because it was normal for me. I didn't think brutal martial arts classes or 5k runs counted as being 'active'. I thought it was normal.
Granted I wasn't underweight and didn't need to gain but I really wanted to look like Zarya from Overwatch
Heads up for other confused readers, that subheading…
“According to new research, skipping breakfast or excessive screen time are risk factors for developing obesity…”
Is egregiously cut out of context, I am guessing by the publishing site. In context, that quote is meant to hilight the wide variety of risk factors for obesity, not to suggest that those are the most common or significant.
I wish there was a way to reach out to correct this error but I couldn’t find one.
Not for long
Anyone know how skipping breakfast contributes? It seems like it would do the opposite.
you may end up eating more later in the day.
The kids in Gaza on the other side of the scale
Now do north america. I bet the number is much higher
Already done, it’s about the same.
Obesity affects ∼20% of U.S. youth, with severe obesity (body mass index BMI] ≥120th of the 95th percentile and/or ≥35 kg/m2) at record high prevalence.
Oops this source only counted obesity and not overweight as the original post does. It’s actually ~33%; you were correct.
Which isn't surprising, factoring worldwide would include war torn countries and places where there's severe famine.

Thank you western capitalists for polluting our air, water and minds and then making our children sick. We are most grateful.

Interesting that we've made progress on world hunger to the extent that 1 in 5 kids is now overfed, I swear when i grew up we were told child hunger was ubiquitous in the majority of the world's population
